There’s hardly a quiz show on ground or on TV that you could come across without it being hosted by Derek O’Brien. A few years ago, we saw the birth of Derek the author. Earlier this year, I came across a copy of the Penguin CNBC TV18 Business Yearbook, and was appalled. To me, it was the worst reference book I had ever come across.
